I truly do not understand how the police can ‘spit’ on these men on one hand and then go on to have sex with them (through rape)?! The double standards are shocking. They must really be full of fear of their own sexuality and hate for themselves and their urges to be able to qualify their actions. How twisted.

Of course we have a primal in-built mechanism that’s wary of anyone ‘different’ approaching our ‘tribe’, but we are surely we are developed enough to be able to assess any perceived danger? What the Hell danger does a bunch of men in spangly saris pose?

That is incredibly cool!

I, personally, am a Female-to-Male transsexual but I\’ve always found hijras to be incredibly fascinating. The amount of power they have in terms of local mysticism is mental and really interesting.

The Hijra community in PAK have long lived in the shadows,and that is where they should stay. You see gangs of them roaming around harassing people for money

Kind of sad we still have this intolerance. This is why education is important. Before people make their opinionated judgements on a person, they need to take all the information into account.
